he has talked about cutting defense spending to a reasonable level. i feel there is some chance he could do it better than a democrat like panetta could. it seems to me that the democrats have to constantly have to prove what tough guys they are whereas a republican like hagel might be freeing to say these are reasonable cuts that we can make. is there some validity to that? >> i think there is a hell of a lot of validity to that. and he can say i have been in a war. i know how much war costs and i know how money is wasted in the course of a war. he can make a strong pitch that we really do not need in the budget a large defense as the rest of the world. this is extreme. most americans do not know. america has an as much money spent on defense as all the other countries in the world combined. that is not necessary. >> cenk: that is an amazing fact. do we have any idea if the defense contractors behind the scenes are opposed to hagel? >> well, i don't know. maybe some of them are funding the crazy ads that are anti- anti-israel and anti-gay. they're me

. >> it was an old law from 1872 that was still on the books and the defense brought it up in the appeals. justices said while they were disappointed that they had to go by this particular letter of the law they were bound by it, and so had the woman been married it would have been rape. but because she wasn't, it doesn't recognize it as rape. to me that plays into the idea that there is a rape culture and the fact that it does exist. >> cenk: yeah, that's an amazing story. cayla, one last question for you, what is it that you want to getget out of these protests? if x happened, you would be happy and you would say good, that's just? >> what i want to get out of this is i want more people to be aware that this is going on not only in steubenville, but i'm sure it's going on in multiple towns where just evidence of crimes is being swept under the rug. and i want jane doe, that's what we're calling her that she gets the justice she deserves. she'll get the trial that this deserves. it won't be swept under the rug or anything. i want her to get justice and make sure that her trial is fair. i
